check out AEROCOOL DS CUBE, just bought it, freaking love it, 200mm up front, 2 140mm up top, 1 140mm in the back in a small case, keeps temps down hard. Super easy to build in too since it has a flat mobo layout, you don't even need to put the case on it's side to work in it.Reply

Wow, what a build. I hope some day to build such a beast myself. My current gaming rig is nearing its end of life (Intel C2D, GF8800GT) so I could really give this build a good home. Thanks to Intel and Anandtech for the opportunity to win! Reply

Would love a new system, mainly so I could give mine to a friend of mine who could use a new computer! I actually really like my current computer, so I may swap out a few parts and let my friend have most of the new computer. Mine current system is built for low noise output. Reply

This certainly looks like an excellent build for gaming; I'm totally in! On another note, I'd be interested to see what the exact performance differences would be between implementing a Z87 build over a comparable X79 build - I guess the question comes down to whether you're offloading to the CPU or the GPU more, as stated in the article...Reply

In order to win should comments be relevant to the subject matter? Can we make political statements? What about making comments about how much I'm making working from home? Does correct punctuation make a difference? This inquiring mind would be interested in knowing if the comment carries weight in winning an AT prize?Reply

I've never won any type of giveaway in my life... could this be that one special time? My computer has started to crap the bed, and this would be the perfect replacement. Oh gods of Anandtech, please pick me! I will never ever read any other website for computer/component reviews again for as long as I live!Reply

My gaming PC is almost 5 years old! I've been trying to budget buying a new one for some time now so this would be an amazing opportunity! Thanks for the quality material and an awesome giveaway like this! Reply

I just built my first computer ever, a server, using an Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3, Asus P9D-C/4L, and WHS 2011. It worked the first time! It idles at 40 w.

I built it just in time. I did a bare-metal restore to another computer (a Dell Optiplex) when my wife's computer (also a Dell Optiplex) said at start-up that the hard drive was about to fail. What should have been an easy thing was complicated by the fact that Dell (in it's infinite wisdom) placed a hidden partition on the hard drive that WHS 2011 didn't see. After a couple of days of research, I made a small change in the boot.ini file, did a restore, and it booted right up. Thank you Internet.

My Internet browsing/gaming machine runs Windows XP and it's getting old. I plan on pulling it off my network before April 8, and building a new gaming rig from scratch using Windows 7.

Of course I'm hoping to win, but I appreciate one more great build guide if I don't.

I've been able to find a suitable build guide on Anandtech for every build I've done, from email and word processing for the folks to gaming rigs to workstation. I really appreciate being able to trust that whatever the need, Anandtech's got me coverd.Reply
